Re: [COMP] Email and ISP's

There is a great tool out there, http://spamcop.net - it will parse the
source of the message that you copy and paste into there, find out the abuse
address for every address in there (including sending ISP, web hosts, etc.).

I'm not affiliated, just use it alot. Works great.
